Chinese New Year Recipes

Celebrate Chinese New Year with these simple and delicious South-East Asian noodle dishes, side salads, soups and ribs…
Nothing is more evocative of the flavour of street food in South East Asia than the following recipe…
Egg Foo Yong, a simple prawn omelette, is a Singapore hawker dish of Chinese origin. It is very quick to make and delicious served with a tangy salad.
This tofu and mushroom stir fry is so simple that you will not believe it could be so tasty! Particularly good served with egg fried rice, but still delicious with plain rice.
Use the sauce in this recipe to create your favourite noodle dish! Have it wholly vegetarian, or stir in a little chicken or a few prawns. You can also use different types of noodles - each variation produces a completely different dish!

A very quick and easy noodle recipe using traditional Chinese Kung Po sauce, which is widely available.
This is a great and versatile salad to serve with barbecued food or a meaty dish such as our baked chinese spare ribs. You can play around with the number of fresh chillies you add to the dressing, and even the spices used.
This is a fantastically easy recipe. Just marinade the ribs and bake slowly till the meat is falling away from the bones…
